Can we put them in the same cell and convince Trump that it's a reality show?

If Zuck's cheating keeps Trump out of the oval office, he won't have the authority to send him to prison, now would he? Unless Trump is so delusional that he thinks he can win despite "cheating", which of course he would.
But if Trump loses, it can only be because of cheating or election interference, it can't possibly be because the American people opted not to chose him. Totally not the delusions of a sore loser, nope.
God, sometimes I wish he had his head blown off back in July. Not having to listen to this moron spew off nonsense day in and day out would have been nice.
Yeah considering the endless flow of conspiratorial bullshit from my relatives you're just fine orange fuck face.
Well earned hatred for Zuck aside, Trump really seems like he wants to imprison the entirety of the seventy percent of Americans who don't bend the knee to him. Depending on what level of military support he garners if he manages to weasel his way back to the White House, we could realistically be looking at a Cambodia Khmer Rouge situation.
I'm not a gun guy, but I've seriously been thinking about getting one - not for self defense against a militarized police force or unimaginably powerful military, but as a quick out should things turn to round up the Dems bad.
Now I want to see that movie where 70% of the people are in prison and the rest who roam free are mentally ill or evil morons being led by a tacky weird old TV celebrity
If politics is making you think of killing yourself. Maybe take a step back from politics. There's more to life than Lemmy.
Unfortunately, there are times when politics takes an interest in all of us, even if we don't want it to.
Facebook is the reason Trump was elected in the first place (Cambridge Analytica).
The message donnie is meaning to convey is if Zuck doesn't give him an assist again, he'll be in prison.
Also, despite what all the qons, the tankies, the tone police, and the likes of donnie, Elon, and Matt Taibbi say - exercising caution over the "laptop" during the election was only all too important.
Same goes for the Brexit vote. They're responsible for a lot of damage to the western economies...
Did Musk tell him that Zuck is a meaniehead?
I kinda hope both of them try to put Zucky away. For some reason, I have no robot sympathy.
Zuckerberg has nothing to fear. Unlike Trump, he's a real billionaire and they make the rules.
But Zuck is a big reason T**** won in 2016. And why he's doing as well as he is now.
Perhaps Trump is pissed that he's not doing it again this year?
Zuck is doing it again this year. They announced that the team that's supposed to remove election disinformation is gone. Plus, Zuck said they won't "give in" to any government censorship, even when the censorship is to protect the public, ie - removing violent right-wing posts that helped fuel the riots in England.
I mean it's possible that he's working for the other team now, and will be actually influencing for Harris. This would also require removing those teams. Who knows what happens behind the curtain.
I think guys like Zuck only have the bottom line in mind whenever they decide pro or con a candidate. And with a Democrat in office the chance of getting worse regulation is a bit higher. So he’s probably not actively trying to help that happen
They eat their own if you aren't entirely fascist enough
True of all fundamentalist movements
So people who interfere with elections should be imprisoned for life? Hmmmmmmm.
If only logic worked for people without brains.
I mean he said it, I think we should do it.
